  • It doesn’t really stand out

    I listen to four other Sooners football podcasts and this one is pretty generic.

    There’s the requisite amount of homerism from Smith, who also has an extremely annoying habit of swallowing in mid sentence during his long winded Pom Pom waving rants.

    Williams is solid and deserves better support.

  • Recruiting

    This 3 star recruiting isn’t going to cut it in the SEC. No disrespect to the linebackers being brought in but why can’t a head coach that was a linebacker bring in the top tier linebackers to Norman?

NCAA BLUNDER Unleashes Massive Shift for Oklahoma Sooners and Owen Heinecke | Jim Nagy WINNING on recruiting trail | OU's best position group?
Q: What's the best position group on the team?
The discussion leans between the defensive line and wide receiver, with the defense arguably having more proven high-end talent and depth, but the wide receivers show a lot of future potential with several NFL prospects and a strong supporting cast; the consensus is that both groups have compelling cases, with depth and development likely deciding the ultimate answer.
OH? Oklahoma Sooners SEC Roster REVAMP Promises Dramatic Shift for Brent Venables

OH? Oklahoma Sooners SEC Roster REVAMP Promises Dramatic Shift for Brent Venables
Q: Yes, I do think this team can this year. One, the offense, the run game should be a lot better. If you see just a slight improvement in the run game and consistency in the run game, guess what?
Improved run game will keep the defense rested and reduce exposure to high-pace drives, while the overall depth at running back should provide more reliable production.
EXPERT: Sooners leading for 2027 quarterback | Offensive Line in GREAT shape for 2026
Q: How much does the tight end room changes affect the offense?
Bringing in new tight ends from the transfer portal will elevate the offensive performance due to their proven abilities.
